Welcome to my tiny place on the internet
Hey there, my name is Raphael.
I work at Lovable. I created Rio terminal emulator and the Jam programming language.
Previously, I worked at companies like Spotify, Charm, Viaplay, GoDaddy, and Globo.com. I have been a speaker at a few conferences.
At Lovable, I brought OJ (a Rust-based dev server I originally built in my spare time) into the organization (Lovable runs >1M sandboxes a day, as of the OJ migration), making previews 2.2x faster while reducing dev-server memory drastically (up to 6.5x less). I also helped establish the performance working group and improve preview stability, alongside broader engineering contributions. See more about it.
I was responsible for Viaplay’s adoption of the Rust language. I built the starter infrastructure, released the first service for production, and actively worked on developing a Rust culture, which led to the language’s adoption in the upcoming years, along with many other feats. See when it all started.
I wrote a book about WebAssembly in Portuguese.
